About Clayton-le-Woods Manor Road Primary School

Clayton-le-Woods Manor Road Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, located in Chorley, Lancashire. With 252 pupils on roll against a capacity of 260, the school is operating very close to its maximum intake. Just 5.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably low compared with the national average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 101 applications for 33 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.06. Of those, 31 were first-preference applications, and 31 first-preference offers were made, meaning that every family who put it first secured a place. This level of competition signals a school that is well regarded locally, though it is not among the highest-ranked primaries in the borough — it sits 39th out of 46 schools in Chorley on the key stage 2 expected standard measure.
